FAHControl throws syntax errors in Python3 unless the shebang line is changed to: #!/usr/bin/python2. The issue is 'try/except' on lines 57 and 80.
Also, this may need to be addressed:

Rumor has it there was an end-of-life party for Python 2 last month. https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html

Yeah Python 2 is getting put out to pasture.
I have not see any news on FAHControl being upgraded to use Python 3.

Bruce posted at the end of this recent thread discussing the python2 problems on Linux that an updated client is in work that will fix this, but there's no release date yet.

FAH generally does not preannounce changes. Sometimes the information slips out in a discussion and I simply repeat what I've heard.

It's certainly known that Python is a problem but nobody has promised when a fix will be available.
